Spanish rice
Taquería side dish
Spanish rice is a dish of rice cooked with tomatoes, onions, and spices, giving it a reddish color.
Despite the name, it's more associated with Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine than with Spain: We're having Spanish rice and refried beans with the tacos.
The dish is also called Mexican rice or red rice.
